Was in the summer, one early fall
Just tryin' to find my, little all and all
Now she's gone an' I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

Was in the spring, one summer's day
Just when she left me, she gone to stay
Now she's gone an' I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

Now don't come runnin', holdin' up your hand
Can get me a woman, quick as you can get a man
Now she's gone an' I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

Happen for days, didn't know your name
Oh, why should I worry or crave you in vain?
Now she's gone an' I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

Went to the station, down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train, work's done got hard
Now she's gone an' I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should I beg you? You said, "Good-bye"
Now she's gone an' I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
